I’m excited to announce registration for the Rochester Nordic Racing Summer Program is now open!

The R.N.R summer program is a roller ski specific summer training program for athletes J3-U23 (8th grade- college). We have developmentally appropriate programs for all ages and abilities.

R.N.R has been able to be successful with the support of local athletes, high school coaches, and families. Last summer the program included high school athletes from Brighton, Fairport, HF-L, Pittsford, Irondequoit, and Webster. Over the past 8 years we have had a number athletes move on to ski at the collegiate level and many of them will be back this summer to continue to develop as well as lend a hand it coaching the next generation.

The winter of 2017 was another successful one for all of the athletes of the summer program. The easiest performance indicator for me to look at to gauge the success of the program is Sectionals. Sectionals is where all of the athletes in the Rochester area race each other in an attempt to qualify for state. It's the one race where as many variables as possible are eliminated. This year R.N.R athletes had another successful race and the results indicate this.

For the girls we has a dominating performance with 9 out of 12 athletes going to states!! That's pretty solid! It also continues the streak of at least 1 sectional champion being from the summer program since the beginning back in 2009. It's also the 4th consecutive year that both the Men's and Women's sectional champions!!! That's pretty awesome!

Here is a quick run down of the distance results listing theRNRathletes who qualified for states. I also believe that 16 is the new record forRNR athletes qualifying for states!

Women:

1.Grace Mattern

2.Bridget Wangler

3.Gabby Wangler

4.Anna Schriefer

5.Cori Conlon

6.Laura Broderick

7.Jing Chang

9.Sara Walter

10.Oliva Templeton

Men:

1. Andrew Warfle

2. Ian Thompson

3. Sam Trawick

4. Aiden Tolley

5. Casey Woodward

10. Rylan Hodgson

12. Teddy Warfle

With all the success that was had we still have a lot of hard work to put in! I hope that you will consider being a part of the program this summer to not only become better as an idividual athlete but help your team, section, and state become more succesful as well!!

Nordic Racing Summer Program is now open!

The R.N.R summer program is a roller ski specific summer
training program for athletes J3-U23 (8thgrade- college). We have
developmentally appropriate programs for all ages and abilities.

R.N.R has been able to be successful with the support
of local athletes, high school coaches, and families. Last summer the program
included high school athletes from Brighton, Fairport, HF-L, Pittsford, Irondequoit,
and Webster. Over the past 7 years we have had a lot of athletes move on to ski
at the collegiate level and many of them will be back this summer.

2016 was very successful winter for past and present
athletes. Leading the way were many of our current collegiate athletes who
continue to improve year after year. Hannah Barnes had a breakthrough season
racing for Harvard with 4 top 20 performances to close out her collegiate
racing career. Hanna Cole continues to have an impressive collegiate career
racing for Williams. She had a rough season fighting off sickness but continues
to impress. Valentina Annunziata completed her second season racing for
UMPI, Conner Green also completed his second season competing for
Harvard. Adam Luban redshirted at Middlebury and will be back next season
fighting for and NCAA spot. Both Gavin Hess and Riley Douglas are racing for
UNH. Riley was continuously fighting to be part of the women’s carnival team as
a freshman which is impressive given UNH women’s team strength. Gavin had an up
and down season but was a consistent performer racing each weekend of the EISA
Carnival Season. We also had a large contingent racing in the USCSA conference
all season long with many athletes going to nationals. Peter and Eric Mallery
continue to lead the way at Clarkson with Katie and Tim Dunn also representing
the Knights. On the home front we had 5 athletes qualify to represent the
Mid-Atlantic Division at Junior Nationals. We also had both overall Sectional
Champions Leo Orsini HF-L and Sara Urckfitz HF-L continuing a streak that goes
back to 2009 with the program having a Sectional Champion! We also had 14
athletes qualify for the State Championship in Lake Placid that’s more than 50%
of the qualifiers.

support I’m glad to announce that we will be offering a Development Program for
athletes with no prior roller skiing experience. The Devo Team will be a spring
board for athletes to enter in to the Prep and Comp Teams. The Teams are always

Comp Team:

Comp Team- Designed for
J2-U23 ski racers competing at the regional and junior national level. The

power, balance, mobility and flexibility. Technique will be an emphasis and
will be an on-going project throughout the summer. Video analysis will be
utilized to address specific skier’s needs. This program will provide a solid platform
towards continued excellence at the high school and collegiate level.

The program will meet
